Angels: A’s 8, Angels 7

The Angels’ good fortune had to end some time A’s rallied from a 7-1 deficit for the victory. It was the Angels’ first defeat of the spring, leaving them 4-1 heading into Tuesday’s contest against the Giants at Scottsdale. The Angels’ bullpen was horrible as Greg Jones and Matt Hensley combined to give up six runs over a span of three innings. While not signaling out anybody in particular, manager Mike Scioscia lamented the inability of some young pitchers to throw first-pitch strikes.
